Berumen Taurus

Amazing and one of a kind Berumen Taurus FlatTop with an astonishing quilt top. Thinkng out the collection. Save big time

The Berumen Taurus is a new design from Berumen Guitars. Sharp, symmetrical cutaways with a hand carved top over a chambered body for weight relief and to give a bit of air to the notes while still retaining girth and fullness of tone.

Like the simplicity of the layout and love the quilt and burst.

 

[vintage clubber]

nice!

 

[Deep Eddy]

No thanks. Don't care for the body shape and it is way too quilty for me.

I will give him credit for building a guitar with "girth and fullness".

 

[Guitar Heel]

I don't feel like I should like this, but I do, for the second time this week.

 

[wok]

The headstock is all wrong (besides being fugly). Look at how the strings almost overlap at the keys

 

[Knox in Box]

I appreciate that it's probably a great guitar made of great materials.
But I don't like fancy quilt on SG types.

 

[Ignored Member]

There has to be a secret workshop somewhere where elves come up with things like air, girth, and fullness of tone.

Judging from the last picture, they're all barefoot, too.

 

[jelloman]

I don't normally go in for single pickup guitars (I like the neck position sound too much)...but in this case I'll make an exception...

 

[GreatDane]

Nope.

 

[Knox in Box]

My wife might like it. She says girth matters more than scale length.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Like it.

 

[Coralkong]

Look at those strings on the headstock. Yikes.

He should have done a 4+2 config.

 

[reverend1]

gross

 

[Jbird]

I love the top. The cutaway to access the upper frets needs to be a bit deeper/wider though, and like Wok said...that headstock/tuning keys...

Coralkong is right, needs to be a 4+2 configuration.

Like it, I shouldn't.
